Review of Stainless Steel Professional Cookware Sausepan w/ Lid

I bought this saucepan because I couldn't find one in cast iron. I also did not want a non stick lining. I no longer trust that stuff.

I'm quite happy with my purchase. It's the first professional grade piece. It looks great. It does not stain. It does well in the dishwasher.

Review of Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 3-1/2-Quart Covered Chef's Pan

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $225.00

I've had a handful of pieces of LeCreuset Stainless Steel Cookware for about two months, cooking roughly 19 meals per week. They're all great performers and very attractive. This line is basically All-Clad Stainless for 20% less. They are made in China, which is a sticking point for some people, but I am convinced that quality has not suffered. It's simply an incredible pan for a better price. Other reviews state that this line approaches or equals All-Clad Stainless, and surpasses Calphalon Stainless.

These pans are fully clad, meaning the aluminum core extends up the sides; it's not only in the bottom. They are incredibly responsive on my gas stovetop. I actually thought they were too fast when I first got them, but now it's just another quality I appreciate. They heat quickly and extremely evenly. You often use a lower heat to achieve the same results.

The handles are comfortable, a good length, and rarely get too hot (obviously, they get hot during oven use). They are made to fit through the handles of the lids, which is a convenient storing option. And incidentally, the lids are great, since they're stainless, too, instead of glass. This means no crud build-up around the edge, and they seal great. The rolled edge truly does make pours a no-drip affair. The pan is balanced and light, but with enough heft to feel substantial and well-made.

It has an excellent lifetime warranty. Thankfully I haven't had to use that, but I did use it with a Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 15-3/4-Inch Oval Fish Skillet, Flame, and was very pleased. (It was a lengthy process at nearly a month, but given that I got a brand new replacement for a $200 pan that was 4 years old, it seemed quite generous.)

This pan in particular has a wide surface area and a deep bowl. It's easy to maneuver tools in it (I'd avoid metal utensils), and the sloped side means this pan is essentially a saucier, sauté pan, wok, and small saucepan all in one. I've seared meats and made soup. It also braises well for small portions. One note, because of the generous sloping of the bowl, the flat cooking surface is only about 6-1/4". If you need to braise enough meat for more than two people, you'd do better with a 12" skillet. The lid also fits the Le Creuset 3-Ply Stainless-Steel 9-1/2-Inch Fry Pan.

Quality cookware like this makes a big difference if you cook frequently. It gets to temperature faster, heats evenly without burning in spots, recovers quicker and keeps its temperature easier. Since it handles well, it's more pleasant to cook with, moving easily around the kitchen, and holding still on the cooktop.

It cleans easily. I use regular dish soap most of the time. Bon Ami 04030 Bon Ami Cleaning Cake and Powder, 12-Ounce is my regular scouring powder, though Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish: 12 OZ leaves the pan with a little extra sparkle (powder only, I Strongly dislike the liquid), which is nice since these pans are so pretty. Le Creuset makes a Le Creuset 12-Ounce Stainless Steel Cleaner, but I haven't yet tried it.

I love the LC Stainless cookware I have, and am looking forward to getting a little more.

I have to agree with another reviewer. The head of the spatula is too narrow for true wok cooking. I like the fact it is bamboo. The angle of the head is fine. The head should be at least an inch wider. I now use it when I boil pasta or anything else that need the bottom of the pot to be scraped while cooking...like congee.

A few years ago I had purchased a bamboo angled spatual at World Market and absolutely loved it. It was sturdy and had a wide scraper area and best of all, it was like 3 bucks. Due to the material of bamboo, they have a tendency to wear down after long use moreso than rubber or metal, and when I went to replace mine I was frustrated to find that not only did World Market no longer carry it, I couldn't find one anywhere in stores or online. I came upon this one and thought I had finally found it, however upon arrival I compared the two and this one is almost half smaller in the scoop, which works but not anywhere near as handy as the width of my old one when scooping around in a big wok of food. My old one was probaly over 4" scoop width and this one is maybe around 2.5-3". Anyone who does much wok cooking knows the value in having a wide scoop. It works-I just like my old one better.

I bought this as an alternative to a cast iron griddle. We use it only for camping and the cast iron would rust way to quickly and easily. This will still rust but so far seems far more tolerant. I season it with bacon every once and a while.

It washes up easily, and it's light enough to easily stick in your suitcase.

Cheap Pyrex Easy Grab 11-Piece Bake-and-Store Set

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $29.95
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I have a little more experience with glass than the average consumer, and I also own "new" Pyrex and a set that's ~25 years old.

I make glass beads as a hobby. It's well-known in that world that COE -coefficient of expansion -will tell you everything about how glass will perform under temperature changes. Borosilicate, or hard glass, has a COE around 30. Soda lime, or soft glass, has a COE between 90 and 110. When glass expands or contracts, it breaks. To use an example from my glassworking experience, I can put a large rod of borosilicate glass at room temperature directly into the flame of a torch (temperature between 1500 and 2000F), and it won't shatter. Try the same thing with a soft glass rod of the same size, and you'll have shards of hot glass all over your workbench.

Also, you can't mix different COEs of glass in the same piece; it renders it structurally unstable. So Pyrex has to be either hard glass or soft glass; it cannot be a mixture of the two.

Similarly, I got a set of Pyrex bowls for my wedding that lasted for years before succumbing to breakage (via drop). I still have one of them. I also have a newer set of the same size bowls. One of them chipped on the bottom almost immediately. At that point I wasn't aware of the differences in glass, so I didn't know why, but now I do.

Borosilicate is far more expensive than soda lime glass. I'm quite sure the change was made as a cost savings. Personally, I'd gladly pay more (and it would probably be double, at least) for a Pyrex set made of borosilicate.

One more tidbit: glass pieces of any size must be annealed in a temperature controlled kiln to ensure structural stability, long life, and shatter resistance. That includes both borosilicate and soft glass. I would never sell a bead to someone that hadn't been annealed; a piece like that can break under any tiny stress. So Pyrex's assurance that they heat-treat their glass is undoubtedly correct, but I'd wager they always have.

Caveat: I don't own this set but am considering purchasing it with the knowledge that it needs to be treated like it's made of glass.

I've bought some of the modern pieces and frankly, I am really skittish about using them. I only use them to store food and never to cook or warm food. It's not worth the risk. If you're like me and have any of the older Pyrex, you can feel the difference by handling both types of pieces. (I've been using Pyrex for over 30 years and the "new" stuff is definitely different than the Pyrex I bought when I first got married.)

Buy the old stuff made from borosilicate glass even if you have to go to garage sales or eBay. (I've found some awesome vintage pieces on eBay, but they're not cheap since so many savvy shoppers are looking for them.) Don't buy this modern soda lime glass version. The old Pyrex is wonderful and practically indestructible.

But don't just go by subjective sense or just what I'm saying. Read up on what World Kitchen / Pyrex glassware is made of now (soda glass) compared to then (borosilicate glass). Google

consumer reports pyrex soda lime breakage

And go to the Consumer Reports article where they analyze the breakage, the stories, and the switch Corning made from borosilicate glass to soda lime. There are several other articles out there in addition to this article.

You can also find articles that talk about how aggressively World Kitchen has denied responsibility for any breakage, blaming everything on consumer misuse, glass bruises, etc., and how they have ignored those who have been injured, no matter how well documented. And note how carefully World Kitchen words their disclaimer on the soda lime / borosilicate changes on their website. The truth is, the glass composition probably changed before or when World Kitchen bought Pyrex.

"It's not clear when the switch occurred. Anchor Hocking spokeswoman Barbara Wolf says borosilicate glass was phased out by the industry by the early 1980s. World Kitchen vice president Jim Aikins says Pyrex glass bakeware sold in the U.S. has consistently been made of soda lime glass that has been strengthened through thermal tempering at the Charleroi plant for about 60 years.

Sarah Horvath, a Corning spokeswoman, says Corning made Pyrex out of both soda lime and borosilicate at several locations before selling the U.S. business to World Kitchen in 1998, but provided no more details. P. Bruce Adams, formerly an executive scientist at Corning, says that borosilicate was still being used to make Pyrex when he retired in 1987." (From Consumer Reports, January 2011)

Research this product thoroughly before you expose this modern soda lime Pyrex glassware to temperature changes and thermal shock. It's very clear that even handling modern soda lime Pyrex per the company's instructions, you can have dangerous breakage and the threat of serious cuts and burns.

If enough consumers buy borosilicate glassware from Europe and hurt World Kitchen's bottom lime, maybe they will return to borosilicate glass and caring about their customers.

Edit: for those who are saying folks are trying to break this glassware or subjecting it to thermal shock as warned against in the instructions. Read the articles. Empirical research shows this glassware breaks while being handled carefully per the instructions provided by the manufacturer. While some breakage may be due to misuse, research and documentation of reported breakage show that it is breaking when it is being handled carefully and correctly. It should not be breaking/exploding, but it does. Hence all the warnings.

Best Deals for Pyrex Easy Grab 11-Piece Bake-and-Store Set

I bought the 19 piece set just before Christmas 2012. The only difference appears to be that these lids are red and mine are blue. Maybe this means they have corrected the problem I'm having. The concept is good, but the execution is pathetic. None of my lids fit properly on the rectangular dishes and one of them pops off its dish in about 20 seconds. It has nothing to do with the way the lids are placed on the dish either, in case you're thinking this phenomenon might be caused by trapped air. That would be impossible since the lids do not offer anything close to an airtight seal. The price I paid for my set was attractive too, so buyers beware. I have contacted Pyrex twice and received no replies. I notified Amazon just so they could be aware of this problem. They immediately responded and offered a full refund even though the original packaging was discarded. We kept the set despite the useless lids. The dishes are ok, and if we store anything in them, which doesn't happen that often. we just use aluminum foil. Pyrex must know there's a problem with these lids and I think it's pretty sad they won't even respond to a customer's feedback.

It's Pyrex and I think everyone is pretty familiar with it by now. They are great and the two rectagular bake and store containers with the handles are GREAT with one caveat. The lids do not fit snugly. That's the downside of the handles in that the lids can't snap around the entire container. I would rather have the handles on these than not have them so it's a compromise I'm willing to accept but if they could solve this issue they would get 5 stars all the way. As it is, I still give them a strong 4 stars (and would go 4.5 if Amazon allowed 1/2 stars).

I wanted this tea kettle for ages. I waited for the stainless version to come out because I like the stainless look in my kitchen and none of the other colors this came in suited my taste.

My husband finally bought it for Christmas. I like this bigger sized kettle and that it gives me the temp of the different teas that I drink. However, I would really have liked it more if the bottom of the kettle weren't so thin. The thin-ness comes off as cheap...and this kettle is not cheap.

Also, the temperature gage on the front is now clouded due to water getting ON it. It was not submerged...just water from the tap rolling over it when filling. Yeah, this could have been made a lot better, but I still enjoy it.

Update~~01/04/2012

I've had this kettle for a year now. I use it daily. However, since the bottom is thin and seemingly a separate piece, the bit of water that is inevitably left in the bottom of the kettle has caused a rust problem inside where the base meets the sides. This does not make me happy. If I had this to do over, I would try one of the coated enameled kettles NOT the stainless steel one. Even in the pictures, you can see there is a difference on how it is made or put together. Love the temp gauge and fast heating. I hope others have better longer lasting results with the enameled kettles. I'm updating this because I'm shopping for a new kettle.

This teapot is critical if you're an avid tea lover or a Teavana addict such as myself.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart PerfecTemp Porcelain Enameled Teakettles

As many other tea lovers have noted, this teakettle is perfect for heating water to that perfect temperature for your favorite brew. It is also an excellent choice if you make French Press coffee as boiling water is too hot and can turn your coffee bitter. With that said, this device does have a few potential pitfalls (as other reviewers have noted) that can be avoided with basic maintenance. Here are some simple steps to keeping the device working properly:

1. Empty out the teapot after use.

Water, especially from the tap, contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium and even iron. If you leave you pot filled with water, these minerals can form deposits on the inner walls of the kettle. This can affect the thermometer's accuracy and potentially open a pathway for rust.

2. Take care not to wash with cold water immediately after heating.

This teakettle (especially the stainless steel one) does have relatively thin walls, but these thin walls allow for a faster transfer of heat. (Having used both the stainless steel and the enamel versions, I can tell you there IS a difference.) The drawback to this is that steel expands and contracts as its temperature changes. If you take a teakettle which has been heated to 200F and pour cold water over it, the metal may contract too rapidly, creating micro-cracks where the untreated steel can oxidize forming rust.

It should also be noted that because the thermometer and temperature gauges are independent pieces, assembled into the kettle, these elements are the most susceptible to damage from rapid heating and cooling. The seal around the gauge can be ruptured and allow steam to get in, clouding the display. My guess is that this is the root of the problem for those who complained of damage to their temperature gauges.

I had the thermometer break in mine as well, but only because my roommate boiled some water, then fell asleep. After all of the water boiled out, the thermometer was exposed to direct flame for over an hour. It probably goes without saying, but this should be avoided as well.

All-in-all, still a great buy in my opinion. I definitely plan to buy another one.

This is a great tea kettle---for its looks, the thermometer is attention getting to guests and works well for the perfect cup of your favorite tea. I have had it for a couple months now and three times already people who were over visiting saw it and asked if I would make them tea, the only thing I can guess is that they asked cause they knew it would be exactly the right temp i.e. taste like it supposed to...I always had a tea kettle on my stove before and no one has ever asked me to make them a cup of tea until I had this kettle.

The one down side and it is a pretty big one, is that the manufacturer says you can't do what most people do and leave it full of water on the stove when not in use. This corrodes the temp gauge, so you will constantly be filling it up and emptying it out. Less convenient for sure...so that's the trade off...you decide.

I was unfortunate enough to get this as a warranty replacement for my old KitchenAid immersion blender and this new model is worse than the old model in almost every way I can see.

The old model had nine continuously variable speeds. This one has three speeds and the highest does not seem as powerful as "9" on the old model.

This model comes with a 3-cup mixing cup. The old one held 4 cups. The cup's top also does not fit as snugly.

On the older model, you pressed a couple of buttons to release the attachments. On this one, the blender attachment twists on and the motor does not actually attach to the chopping cup at all. Instead, it just sits on top, which means you have to be careful you don't accidentally take it out while chopping. The old model also had a separate rubber base for the chopper. The new one has just a rubber o-ring on the bottom.

I'm sure all this was done as a way to get the price down, but we don't buy KitchenAid based on price, do we? We buy based on quality. They seem to have forgotten that with this immersion blender.

Sadly, the KitchenAid website no longer lists the old model. If you can, buy one of the older models while they are still on Amazon. I'm going to give this one away and do that myself.

I like the previous reviewer, I was unfortunate enough to get this as a warranty replacement. I had the Handheld Immersion Blender KitchenAid KHB100ER1. That was a work horse and I absolutely loved it!! I got this in the mail the other day as a replacement and decided to test it before sending off my other unit. I put it in the beans to make refried beans and the thing barely moved. Not only that, but the thing popped out of the blender attachment. It barely cut through the beans at the highest speed. I was so disappointed. I had such high hopes. I contacted kitchen aid immediately. I requested that my old hand held be fixed and sent back to me. Unfortunately you can only do that at your expense. They say this is an upgrade from the old hand immersion which had a motor based upon wattage. Which means you get so many revolutions per minute based upon the speed you selected. This unit is not based upon wattage but a D.C. motor, which isn't based upon revolutions per minute based upon the speed you select, but on what you are blending. So, if you are blending a salad dressing at the highest speed it will whip right through it but if you are blending a thick soup it will slow down the motor so it takes you longer to blend it. It will do it but it sounds like its going to stop any minute. I am not sure about other people but I'd rather not have the motor decide for me if it needs to slow the revolutions per minute down for me. I spend alot of time in the kitchen as it is, I want to cut my time in the kitchen so I can enjoy doing other activities. Disappointed? Yes, absolutely. It was wonderful for Kitchen Aid to send me this upgraded but somehow cut back model as a replacement for a superior model it discontinued. If you have never owned a Kitchen Aid hand immersion blender before you might not notice. I would recommend the other model KHB100 while they are still available.

Oh yes and the quality is not as good. It seems to be more plasticy and lightweight in comparison. It has a twist and lock method of connecting the attachments instead of a click and safety release button. The 3 Speed selector is more cheaply made. Even the blade looked smaller. Had I bought this for myself, I would have taken it right back to the store and got my money back.

Kitchen Aid offered the 5 Speed of the same Unit, at a cost of $50 Plus tax and shipping. For that money, I'll go buy the original unit I had ;-).

I love pretty much all of the kitchen aid products, and this one is no exception. It is built well, and I like the extra-long shaft and extra speed on this model. I also really appreciate the bag it comes with, it is SO much better than just having the pieces lying around on the shelf.

I purchased this one over the next model down since there are a LOT of times that I really like my food processor . . . but only need a small amount. This is perfect for that, plus the booklet gives great suggestions on speeds to use. Obviously the mixing cup (which has a great lid, I use it a lot to make dips and I can store them right in the jar in the fridge) and food processor don't fit in the bag.

My only two complaints (and they are tiny ones, and not enough to take away stars) are that the top of the mixing shaft is plastic and the mixing jar is plastic. The whole mixing shaft is stainless except for the part that connects to the motor. I realize that plastic is really good, and the chrome on it is so good it is almost impossible to tell . . . but I just prefer metal. It is a personal preference more than anything. The plastic mixing cup is great and extremely high-quality, but you essentially have to just resign yourself to the fact that it will get scratched up on the inside as you use it. It doesn't change the usefulness in any way, but I would love it it was glass.

My husband and I love soups, and we had been making pureed soups by transferring small batches to our food processor.

The pieces clean up quickly, and the device hardly takes up any storage space. It's fun to use too. We love it.
